Human Capital Development
Human Capital Development is one of the key drivers in transforming ECER into a high-income, developed Region. To enable the rakyat to participate in and contribute to the Region’s socio-economic growth, ECERDC has introduced human capital development programmes that equip people with the right skills, knowledge and mindset to embrace new economic opportunities.
These rakyat empowerment programmes target all levels of society across the Region’s diverse communities, particularly youths, women, the Orang Asli and B40 groups.
Initiatives such as empower ECER (Academic), empower ECER (Skills & Entrepreneurship) and entrepreneur ECER form a comprehensive human capital development ecosystem, ranging from nurturing schoolchildren to upskilling graduates and working adults. Through these efforts, ECERDC continues to broaden access to opportunities, helping participants secure employment or build sustainable businesses, and ultimately uplifting communities from poverty towards financial security.
